According to a Monmouth poll released Monday — the only poll taken since the bridge scandal began — Chris Christie’s approval ratings are down overall. But his numbers have actually improved among Republicans in recent days.

After documents surfaced last week showing that New Jersey Governor Christie’s aides plotted to stall traffic on the George Washington Bridge as payback for the Fort Lee, N.J. mayor not backing Christie’s reelection, most assumed that the scandal fallout would jeopardize Christie’s political future. But Christie’s chief political officer, Mike DuHaime, told the Washington Post Tuesday that the presidential hopeful was getting “positive, proactive” feedback from his fellow Republicans.

Though that might seem like political spin, the new poll says, “Republicans are sticking by Christie, giving him an 89 percent approval rating which is in line with the 85 percent GOP support he received last month.”

Of course, Christie’s approval ratings among other constituents has fallen. He has just a 58 percent approval rating among registered voters in New Jersey; it’s the first time since Superstorm Sandy struck that the governor’s approval ratings have been below 60 percent. His job approval rating has also fallen from 65% a month ago to 58%.

I have no personal feelings about Christie one way or the other. But I can not name one governor in any State that would have a major traffic jam on a major bridge and that governor would never ask why. Never pick up the phone and call the Port Authority and ask what is going on for FOUR DAYS? I live in Michigan and knew of the traffic jam going on there because it was on the news daily but Christie didn't know about it? BULL. He never asked questions and never started his own investigation and traffic studies are done these days in high traffic area by computers...........not lane closures.

But if Christie is clean of this mess, he still should welcome this investigation. How else is he to know what the rest of his staff has been up to and who else was involved? He should want to know these things.

Christie influenced his aides to close the lanes under Obamas' watch. And Benghazi! It was Obamas fault. If he had stayed in Kenya, he would not have been elected President and Sandy would not have happened, and Christie would not have touched him and the Republicans would have loved their margarine batch so much. The traffic on the bridge would not have been brought to a screeching halt if it the Mayor had not decided to support Benghazi. I mean Obama. Heck whats the difference.

No one's paying attention. Stay tuned! More subpoenas on the way. The emails that were redacted (possible redacted by Christies very own Port Authority guy who just pled the fifth) will be in full view. More pleaders of the fifth possibly on the way. Lots of interesting tv for some of us.
